Australia vs South Africa 2nd ODI: Top 5 Fantasy Cricket picks for the Australia vs South Africa Dream11 team

There was a time when facing Australia at the Gabba was a terrifying thought for many visiting sides. The quickness and the bounce of a fairly green pitch meant that the conditions were home-friendly. Australia would often win there making the Perth Cricket Ground its fortress. But times have changed and the Australian team isn't the same anymore. A team that's nowhere near a rounded side welcomed the upbeat South Africans for the first ODI in the three match series on Sunday, November 4. Unsurprisingly, the hosts were humbled as South Africa romped to a six-wicket win. The bowlers did have a say but just that it was the likes of Dale Steyn and Andile Phehlukwayo who tore apart the nervy Australian batting line-up. While this match kind of set a tone for the rest of the series, there are still a lot of players on either side that could turn the game on its head on his day. And in case you're still trying to figure out as to who should be in Fantasy Cricket team, here are our top five picks for Australia vs South Africa 2nd ODI:

1. Dale Steyn - Bowler, South Africa

Dale Steyn bowled just seven overs in the first match but it did the damage. Steyn was spot on with the line and length and looked at his best. With 2/17, Steyn definitely had an impact in the match and will only get better in the series.

Dream11 Points - 30

2. Quinton De Kock - Batsman, South Africa

In a game that was dominated by bowlers, Quinton De Kock played some exceptional shots at the beginning of South Africa's run chase. With a quickfire 47 which included seven boundaries, De Kock shut out any chance of an Aussie comeback. Importantly, De Kock is a wicketkeeper and can get you a lot of extra points for your Fantasy Cricket team.

Dream11 Points - 41

3. Marcus Stoinis - All-rounder, Australia

It was a day to forget if you are an Australian fan. While the batting disappointed heavily, the bowling couldn't do enough to contain the South Africans. Some would argue that if Marcus Stoinis had the support of other seasoned bowlers, it would have been a different story. Frankly, we cannot deny. In the four overs he bowled, Stoinis was the spark that Australia was looking for since the start of the match. Stoinis picked up three wickets and is an impact player for your Fantasy Cricket league.

Dream11 Points - 48

4. Andile Phehlukwayo - All-rounder, South Africa

With the likes of Steyn, Rabada and Ngidi, South Africa's bowling unit looked lethal but it was the rather unheard Phehlukwayo that was the pick among Proteas bowlers. Three wickets in his six overs, rattled the Australia middle-order and was an impact player in the match.

Dream11 Points - 38

5. Nathan Coulter-Nile - Bowler, Australia

Nathan Coulter-Nile was nowhere the best player on the field on Sunday. But his late resilience while batting makes him one of the most bankable Australian players in the squad right now. With Shaun Marsh making a comeback in the next ODI, Australia is only going to get better and it could be a feisty contest at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.
